Hello world.

This is a post that holds so much to me and it's definitely something that people always say about me. Simply put I'm quiet, I'm not always quiet and I can be incredibly chatty at times. But truth be told I find it so difficult to talk at times, I think it's a putting up barriers kind of thing and I've always found it difficult to be super chatty.

Also sometimes I can't get a word in edgeways so it is often easier just to be quiet. Also I love quiet places, I'm still convinced I'm destined to live in a cottage in a village. I think I appreciate silence and quiet spaces because of growing up in a noisy environment.

Often the only quiet times I get are to as from work and they are not exactly silent but they are time to myself and for the few hours in the holidays when everyone is at work.

I definitely prefer my own company and just to be able to take a few hours where I do not get disturbed. This is not to say that I don't like to go out and be around others, although it does take me a few days to recharge when this happens.

Sometimes I wish I was more confident and outgoing and believe me I have tried. This is definitely an addition to struggling with friendships as I can often be perceived as rude. Where in fact it's usually the opposite and I do want to join conversations but I'm so worried that nobody wants to hear what I have to say or that people will talk about me behind my back.

Anyway it's not all negative just because quiet it doesn't mean I'm not watching or listening. It just means I'm taking everything in and observing the world.

Also there is nothing wrong with being the quieter one. It just means people have to wait to get to know me better and if they have their own perceptions and cannot accept me then it is their problem.

As always stay safe and look after each other x
